The other two boxers are 60 kg David Gauthier, 2013 national champion and 64 kg Arthur Biyarslanov, the youngest of the group, two-time Canadian Youth National Champion and the 2013 Canadian Bronze Medalist.

The highlight of the Games will be the debut of the women’s boxing in the three Olympic weight divisions that were introduced in London 2012.

“I am in excellent form, and ready to compete with the strongest boxers,” said Fortin who brought home a silver medal from the Feliks Stam tournament in Warsaw this past April and gave an amazing performance in Regina on May 23 winning 3-0 to Lauren Price, Wales champion, who will also be in Glasgow.

“My goal is to win Gold, I’ve been training for it,” said resolute, 30 year old Fortin.

History will be made in 2016 when Rio de Janeiro, Brazil hosts the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, marking the first time that a South American country will welcome the world to an Olympic Games. It is also just the third time that the Games will be held in the southern hemisphere, following Melbourne 1956 and Sydney 2000.
